Redscale Film

Recently I won 'Lomo home of the Week UK' or something on Lomography.com which earnt me 50 piggy points (£50 free pound basically, to spend in the Lomo shop, awesome) and with them I bought a white Fisheye 1 which I've wanted for ages, and some funky film; 3 rolls of Lomography film ISO 400 and 3 rolls of Lomography redscale ISO 100.

I was looking on Lomography.com earlier because some lovely people liked and commented on my photos and I came across some really nice photos taken with an Olympus Trip 35 (my favourite film camera at the moment) and Lomography Redscale film, awesome. I'm clearly going to have to go to some sort of forest/woods when I test my film out.

Guido van der Werve

I found out about this photographer/film maker on this website which also has information about, and the work of, loads of other artists that I really like.

He takes photos, makes short films and also music compositions I think. But basically I went on his website (http://www.roofvogel.org/) to look at more of his work than was on the other site and I really liked it, so I wanted to put him on my blog like I have done with others.

Digbeth

From time to time, something happens that makes me extremely glad I live in Birmingham, and not somewhere like London, or nearer London at least. Last weekend I went to town with my BFF (my mom) to take photos in the style of Margaret Bourke White's building photos to fill a page in my sketchbook I've had empty for months, and I thought that the falling down buildings in Digbeth would be good for these. Plus, I've been meaning to photograph Digbeth for ages and ages. Welllll, we came across the Custard Factory (that I've actually never been to before, despite living here for my whole life) which was brilliant to photograph. I think it was, anyway. Here are some of the photos:
